Mr. Steve Ach <br />July 17, 1996 <br />Page Three <br /> <br />C. PRELIMINARY PLAT <br /> <br />De <br /> <br />It is assumed that the sanitary sewer and water improvements in this <br />development will be public, while the streets and drainage system will be <br />private. Therefore, utility easements will be needed over the proposed <br />utility improvements. <br />The Final Plat for this development should restrict all access to Jackson <br />Avenue. <br />We question whether the four single-family lots in the southwest corner of <br />the development are an appropriate use. The immediately area is primarily <br />made up of apartments and duplexes. <br />Lot 4 in the southwest part of the project is a single-family lot which is <br />essentially a corner lot. Therefore, according to City Ordinance, it <br />requires 100 feet of frontage on Highland Road and requires a larger <br />setback along the private interior road. <br />The Preliminary Plat should show the adjacent properties and their zoning. <br /> <br />PRELIMINARY UTILITY PLAN <br /> <br />The concept for drainage is to collect the runoff internally in a small <br />diameter storm sewer system and route it to a pond located in the southeast <br />comer of the site. This pond would provide quality control. It should also <br />provide quantity control and then outlet into the existing storm sewer on <br />Jackson Avenue. We would point out that the concept seems reasonable, <br />but a detailed storm drainage design will need to be submitted and <br />reviewed prior to final approval. <br />Sanitary sewer service is provided by extending sewer into the site from <br />Jackson Avenue at the location of Freeport Avenue. Eight-inch diameter <br />sanitary sewer is then extended both north and south to serve the proposed <br />condominiums and single-family lots. To the south, it is extended to <br />Highland Road and then westerly to approximately the plat boundary. To <br />the north, it is extended to 193rd and then west to the plat boundary. <br />More detail will need to be provided in the future on the depth of the <br />sanitary sewer and then reviewed relative to other areas to be served to see <br />if any additional depth will be required. <br />The watermain is extended into the plat from the same location. There is <br />a 16-inch existing watermain along Jackson Avenue in the location of the <br />Freeport Avenue intersection. This is brought into the development and <br />extended to the north and south. There is a need to provide a trunk sized <br />loop from Jackson Avenue to the southwest corner of the plat for future <br />looping between the northwest area of the City and the northeast area of <br />the City. <br /> <br />230/261-1517.jul <br /> <br /> <br />
